TSG-6 Inhibits Oxidative Stress and Induces M2 Polarization of Hepatic Macrophages in Mice With Alcoholic Hepatitis via Suppression of STAT3 Activation.

Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α-stimulated protein 6 (TSG-6) is a secreted protein with diverse tissue protective and anti-inflammatory properties. We aimed to investigate its effective in treating mice with alcoholic hepatitis (AH) and the associated mechanisms. AH was induced in 8-10 week female C57BL/6N mice by chronic-binge ethanol feeding for 10 days. Intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection of recombinant mouse TSG-6 or saline were performed in mice on day 10. Blood samples and hepatic tissues were collected on day 11. Biochemistry, liver histology, flow cytometry, and cytokine measurements were conducted. Compared to the normal control mice, the AH mice had significantly increased liver/body weight ratio, serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferases (AST), hepatic total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), malondialdehyde (MDA), hepatic macrophage infiltration, serum and hepatic interleukin (IL)-6, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, which were markedly reduced by i.p. injection of rmTSG-6. Compared to the normal control mice, the hepatic glutathione (GSH), accumulation of M2 macrophages, serum, and hepatic IL-10 and TSG-6 were prominently reduced in the AH mice, which were significantly enhanced after i.p. injection of rmTSG-6. Compared to the normal control mice, hepatic activation of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) was significantly induced, which was markedly suppressed by rmTSG-6 treatment. TSG-6 were effective for the treatment of AH mice, which might be associated with its ability in inhibiting hepatic oxidative stress and inducing hepatic M2 macrophages polarization via suppressing STAT3 activation.

Mesenchymal stem cells reduce alcoholic hepatitis in mice via suppression of hepatic neutrophil and macrophage infiltration, and of oxidative stress.

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are a population of pluripotent cells that have been tested for the treatment of many inflammatory diseases. It remains unclear whether MSCs were effective in treating mice with alcoholic hepatitis (AH) and its underlying mechanism. In the present study, MSCs were isolated from bone marrow of 4-6 week-old C57BL/6N male mice. AH was induced in female mice by chronic-binge ethanol feeding for 10 days. Intraperitoneal (i.p.) transplantation of MSCs or saline were performed in mice on day 10. Blood samples and hepatic tissues were harvested on day 11. Biochemical, liver histological and flow cytometric analyses were performed. Compared to the control mice, the AH mice had significantly increased liver/body weight ratio, serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferases (AST), hepatic total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), malondialdehyde (MDA), hepatic neutrophil and macrophage infiltration (P<0.001), which were markedly reduced by i.p. transplantation of MSCs (P<0.01). Compared to the control mice, the hepatic glutathione (GSH) was prominently lower in the AH mice (P<0.001), which was markedly enhanced after i.p. injection of MSCs (P<0.001). MSCs were effective for the treatment of AH mice, which might be associated with their ability in inhibiting hepatic neutrophil and macrophage infiltration, and alleviating oxidative stress.

Mesenchymal stem cells alleviate liver injury induced by chronic-binge ethanol feeding in mice via release of TSG6 and suppression of STAT3 activation.

BACKGROUND: Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are a population of pluripotent cells that might be used for treatment of liver disease. However, the efficacy of MSCs for mice with alcoholic hepatitis (AH) and its underlying mechanism remains unclear. METHODS: MSCs were isolated from the bone marrow (BM) of 4-6-week-old male C57BL/6 N mice. AH was induced in female mice by chronic-binge ethanol feeding for 10 days. The mice were given intraperitoneal injections of MSCs with or without transfection or AG490, recombinant mouse tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α-stimulated gene/protein 6 (rmTSG-6), or saline at day 10. Blood samples and hepatic tissues were collected at day 11. Various assays such as biochemistry, histology, and flow cytometry were performed. RESULTS: MSCs reduced AH in mice, decreasing liver/body weight ratio, liver injury, blood and hepatic lipids, malondialdehyde, interleukin (IL)-6, and TNF-ɑ, but increasing glutathione, IL-10, and TSG-6, compared to control mice. Few MSCs engrafted into the inflamed liver. Knockdown of TSG-6 in MSCs significantly attenuated their effects, and injection of rmTSG-6 achieved similar effects to MSCs. The signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) was activated in mice with AH, and MSCs and rmTSG-6 inhibited the STAT3 activation. Injection of MSCs plus AG490 obtained more alleviation of liver injury than MSCs alone. CONCLUSIONS: BM-MSCs injected into mice with AH do not engraft the liver, but they secrete TSG-6 to reduce liver injury and to inhibit STAT3 activation.

Testing of behavioral and cognitive development in rats after prenatal exposure to 1800 and 2400 MHz radiofrequency fields.

The objective of the study was to explore the effects of behavioral and cognitive development in rats after prenatal exposure to 1800 and 2400 MHz radiofrequency fields. Pregnant female rats were exposed to radiofrequency fields beginning on the 21st day of pregnancy. The indicators of physiological and behavioral development were observed and measured in the offspring rats: Y maze measured at 3-weeks postnatal, open field at 7-weeks postnatal, and the expression of N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors (NMDARs) measured by reverse transcription-PCR in the hippocampus at 9-weeks postnatal. The body weight of the 1800 MHz group and the 1800 MHz + WiFi group showed a downward trend. The eye opening time of newborn rats was much earlier in the WiFi group than in the control group. Compared to the control group, the overall path length of the 1800 MHz + WiFi group was shortened and the stationary time was delayed. The path length of the WiFi group was shortened and the average velocity was increased in the error arm. The 1800 MHz + WiFi group displayed an increased trend in path length, duration, entry times and stationary time in the central area. In both the 1800 MHz + WiFi and WiFi groups, NR2A and NR2B expression was down-regulated, while NR2D, NR3A and NR3B were up-regulated. Moreover, NR1 and NR2C in the WiFi group were also up-regulated. Prenatal exposure to 1800 MHz and WiFi radiofrequency may affect the behavioral and cognitive development of offspring rats, which may be associated with altered mRNA expression of NMDARs in the hippocampus.

[Association of ERCC6 gene polymorphisms and DNA damage in lymphocytes among coke oven workers].

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the association between ERCC6 gene polymorphisms and peripheral blood lymphocyte DNA damage among the workers in coking plant. METHODS: By cluster sampling, 379 coke oven workers having worked for 8 hours were included in the exposure group, 398 coke oven workers having rested for more than 16 hours were included in the recovery group, and 398 workers having never been exposed to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in the same plant were included in the control group. Lymphocytes were separated from their peripheral venous blood, and single cell gel electrophoresis was used to evaluate DNA damage; TaqMan-MGB probes were used to analyze ERCC6 gene polymorphisms. PHASE 2.0.2 genetic analysis software was used to calculate the haplotypes. RESULTS: The Olive tail moment (OTM) of lymphocytes in the exposure group was significantly higher than those in the recovery group and control group (-0.86±0.70 vs -1.14±0.68 and -1.13±0.65, P < 0.05). In the exposure group, for workers ≥37 years old, the OTM of lymphocytes in workers carrying CG+GG genotype at rs3793784 locus of ERCC6 gene was significantly lower than that in workers carrying CC genotype (P < 0.05); the OTM of lymphocytes in workers <37years old carrying CC genotype at rs3793784 locus of ERCC6 gene was significantly lower than that in workers ≥37 years old carrying CC genotype (P < 0.05); the OTMof lymphocytes in workers <37 years old carrying CG+GG genotype at rs3793784 locus of ERCC6 gene was significantly higher than that in workers ≥37 years old carrying CG+GG genotype (P < 0.05). For patients with internal exposure, in the 1-hydroxypyrene >4.36 ümol/L group, the OTM of lymphocytes in workers carrying AG+GG genotype was significantly higher than that in workers carrying AA genotype (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: Different genotypes of ERCC6 gene rs3793784 in peripheral blood lymphocytes of coke oven workers exposed to PAHs have different functions at different ages, suggesting that genotype may interact with age in population exposed to PAHs.

[Polymorphisms of hsp 60 gene in Chinese Han people].

OBJECTIVE: To identify the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the regulatory and coding regions of heat shock protein 60 gene and search for its genetic makers in Chinese Han people. METHODS: The 5' flank region, parts of the exons and introns of hsp60 gene were resequenced to identify the SNPs in Chinese Han people, and then the sequenced results to the Japanese, European and African's data in National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) and HapMap databases were compared. RESULTS: One novel SNP was identified in exon 2 resulting in synonymous variant and the G allele frequency was 0.025. There were 11 reported SNPs in the sequenced region. The minor allele frequencies of rs1116734, rs3749095, rs1050347, rs8539 were 0.51, 0.30, 0.29, 0.49. The heterozygosity of the other 7 SNPs was 0. The distributions of rs1116734, rs1050347, rs8539, rs3749095 in Chinese Han people were similar to the Japanese's. The hsp60 rs3749095 which was not found in Japanese people was a high-frequency SNP in Chinese Han people; the distribution of rs8539 in Chinese Han people was quite different from European and African's (P < 0.01). CONCLUSION: The SNPs of hsp60 in Chinese Han people are different from the other peoples. The SNPs of hsp60 gene rs1116734, rs3749095, rs1050347, rs8539 are very common in Chinese Han people and might be used for candidate genetic markers of hsp60 gene.
